Welcome!! I think a lot of people from WB have made the switch. The boards here are much more active and relevant, I think:) Good luck with your pregnancy!

Enjoy it here! Everyone is very understanding/tolerant and has great information!

Congrats and welcome, wasn't on WB but stopped looking/posting on some other boards for similar reasons. I hope you find this board much more welcoming.

Welcome JHoller and congrats on your BFP! I lurk all the time (and sometimes post) on WB and I keep hearing about your famous JHo PP! Can you explain it over here? I haven't taken the time to wade through the posts on WB to find the description!

Thanks for so many warm welcomes!
@twodoghouse: Basically the PP is just that my husband bent me over the side of the bed, as in we were both standing next to the bed and he bent me forward so that the top half of my body was laying chest-down on the bed...My lower half was still in "standing position"...It made my butt kind of point up in the air a little? Anyway, obviously he was behind me and on our 7 month of TTC, we got our first BFP. Unfortunately that was a CP. But he joked that it was the position that got me pregnant. We had pretty much stuck to finishing missionary for TTC reasons, as we read it had the best chances bc of gravity. So this was a new TTC finish position.
We tried it again the next month, and only finished that way during my fertile period. I got pregnant again. Unfortunately, another CP. We did the same routine for the next month, and I NEVER thought I would get pregnant a third month in a row when we had 7 months of NOTHING, but Yep. Pregnant again. This one has stuck - Thank Goodness! But my husband labeled it "the pregnancy position." I think maybe it's helpful because of the angle with your bottom already kind of angled up. When we're fertile, our cervix is very high, so I think the angle helps the swimmers get right to the cervix, because - not to be TMI- but it's super-deep penetration! So I guess it's "right there" next to the cervix even though the cervix is really high.
I told everyone about it as a funny/haha on the 6 mos and up thread on WB, and suddenly people that had been trying for ages started getting KU left and right!
MrsMeNow over there had a variation- due to height of her DH vs her or her bed height....She got on the bed, basically on her knees and elbows, so she still had the whole butt pointing toward the sky thing happening. Basically the same position as far as "angle" and penetration/position to cervix, it's just that you're on the bed instead of standing on the floor. I think some people's beds may be to high or their DH may be too tall, etc...So this worked for several other girls.
Soooo, hope that wasn't too perverted...We just had a job to do and found a more effective way to get it done!

@jholler25: Um, this is amazing. Thank you! And I'm so glad there is a place in the internet world where we can all share these sort of details with one another! Haha. I'm going to try this out and if we FINALLY get pregnant, maybe I will name the baby after you.

Glad you came over! I've been posting more and more here and less at WB. Everyone here is great and totally "gets" TTC and other pregnancy issues. The blog posts are very interesting too and I love reading the birth stories (make me cry every time) and the posts on what "tools" people use and love.

@jholler25: Welcome! As for your position/pregnancy story, it might just be the next "big" thing on HB!

@JHo: LOL! I am almost 100% sure this is how I got KU! It was pre-work morning sex with me bent over (elbows on the bed, legs standing) during my ovulation window.

hahaha. I was wondering what PP meant but I figured if I waited long enough it would surface. Too funny!
